Subject: Please explain John 19:27 |
Bible Note: Correct!, I should have said that James notoriety was not evident till after the bequeathal of Mary. But my point is still valid: Matthew 13:55 name James, Joseph, Simon and Judas and sisters (which implies at least two) so between at least 6 brothers and sisters they could not fulfill a Jewish Law that required them to care for their widowed mother (Joseph is not mentioned except as reference point of Jesus upbringing--never as a personality during Jesus' public years; so it can be surmised that Joseph had died and that Mary was a widower)--even if they lived in extreme poverty!
